Tokoriki Island Resort Goes Solar

Tokoriki Island Resort in Fiji’s Mamanuca Islands, is set to become the first fully solar sufficient island resort.

An expansion and reconstruction of the resort including a 600 KW solar system, is planned for completion at the end of 2013.

“We are well advanced with a full solar installation, to be the first island resort to be fully solar sufficient,” Robert Ring, Tokoriki Island Resort general manager told the Fiji Times.

“The resort has always been a leader in the Fijian tourism industry, becoming the first resort in the Mamanuca’s to offer freestanding villas and bure, air conditioning, outdoor showers, king beds, plunge pools, a teppanyaki restaurant plus 100 per cent solar power across the entire resort soon-to-be completed.”

Pan-Pacific solar company, Sunergise will install the system, which will a largely off-grid installation at a resort in the South Pacific.

A discreet rooftop array of panels will be installed on the resorts maintenance building, allowing the resort to become 100 per cent solar energy sufficient.
